Finding the Death of Philip Cook Jr.

I am having trouble trying to find the death date of my 6th great grandfather Philip Cook Junior in Alburgh, Vermont.

He appears in tax lists for 1801 and 1802, then in 1803, there is a "Widow Cook" and in 1808 "John Laden and James Sweet for the whole as Guardians for the Heirs of Philip Cook". I think that he could have died in around 1803, but I have not found a death or burial record.

I would appreciate it if anyone can find more information about this.

No trace of this in Québec records that I can find, seems they married here then moved away some time later.  I find  their marriage and a baptism for one of their children, Louisa Korina Cook, born 11 June 1798, baptised 3 Feb 1799 in Sorel's Anglican Christ church. daughter of Philip Cook Jnr and his wife Catherine _,  baptism, IGD (membership) (several unrelated children listed on same record)  The sponsors for this child were Philip Cook Jnr who signs (?) and Catharine Hogel who makes her mark.  (Parents sponsoring their own child?  Not seen that elsewhere, don't know if this is a practice in Anglican / Protestant churches).

There is a Fndagrave post that shows his headstone and that he died in 1846 in Savanah, Wayne, New York.  And I have also found his will.  Perhaps this is the same person you are looking for.  I will post the info on his profile.

Note: I posted findagrave on Philip Cook-49575, not on his father's profile.
I don't think that is the same person as Cook-49575. I found a different grave in Boston, New York that says his birth is 24 Oct 1789 which is a lot closer. Census records in Boston say his birth place is Vermont.

Still on the search for his father's death though.
